Meeting Description:

Proper names have been widely studied from a philosophical and a
linguistic perspective (Frege, 1892; Russell, 1905; Strawson, 1950;
Searle, 1958; Donnellan, 1970; Kripke, 1980; Soames, 2002; Elbourne,
2005; Fara, 2015; Matushansky, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2015, among others).
Over the last decades, they have become an important subject of
investigation with respect to the semantics of reference and the
syntax of the nominal phrase and, more specifically, to the different
types of determiners and modifiers they can combine with, such as
indefinite and definite articles (von Heusinger & Wespel, 2007;
Gomeshi & Massam, 2009; Bernstein et al., 2019; Camacho, 2019; Saab,
2021; Oggiani & Aguilar-Guevara, forthcoming), honorific particles
(Saab, 2021), and adjectives (Sigurdsson, 2006; Bernstein et al.,
2019). There is also a growing interest in the cross-linguistic
perspective (see Handschuh & Dammel, 2019; Levkovych & Nintemann,
2019; Caro Reina, 2020, 2022; Becker, 2021; Caro Reina & Helmbrecht,
2022, among others).

In this context, the research project “Proper Names with Determiners
and Modifiers in a Cross-linguistic Perspective” aims to contribute to
this discussion by bringing together researchers working on proper
names with determiners and/or means of modification from a
morphological, syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic perspective. The
second event of this research group will be the workshop “Non-Bare
Proper Names II: Proper Names with Determiners and Modifiers in
Cross-Linguistic Perspective.” The second edition of this workshop
will take place in Mexico City, Mexico, in March 2025. A previous
edition of this workshop took place at the University of Cologne on
May 16–17, 2024. A third edition of the workshop will take place in
Uruguay.

Call for Papers:

We invite contributions on proper names with determiners, quantifiers
and/or any means of modification, as well as honorifics, diminutives,
classifiers, and other affixes, from a morphological, syntactic,
semantic, or pragmatic perspective. The main questions this Workshop
seeks to answer are:
 - What categories can accompany proper names in natural language?
 - What is the meaning contribution of these categories? How does this
meaning combine with that of proper names?
 - What kind of syntax do determined and modified proper names
project?

The Workshop will take place at El Colegio de México, Ciudad de
México, on March 13–14, 2025.

We invite submissions for 30 min presentations (plus 15 min for
discussion) in English or Spanish. Abstracts should be anonymous and
not longer than two pages (Times New Roman 12 pt., single space, 2,4
cm margins). They should be submitted in pdf format to the EasyAbs
site (https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NBPN2/).

Deadline for submissions: December 02, 2024
Notification of authors: No later than January 10, 2025
Workshop: March 13–14, 2025
